Blue Jays optioned RHP Bo Schultz to Triple-A Buffalo.

Schultz had a really good showing in Blue Jays camp, allowing just one hit over eight scoreless innings, but it wasn't enough to win a bullpen spot. However, the 29-year-old could be the first call-up from the minors if there's an opening in the early part of the season. Mar 25 - 9:44 AM

Bo Schultz retired all three Twins he faced on Tuesday and has allowed just one hit in eight scoreless innings this spring.

The Jays picked up the 29-year-old Schultz on waivers from the Diamondbacks in October after he flopped as a Triple-A starter. He's always made more sense as a reliever, and he might just win a spot in Toronto's bullpen with his mid-90s fastball and decent slider. It's not likely that he'll find himself in the closer mix, but stranger things have happened. Mar 24 - 5:32 PM

Blue Jays claimed RHP Bo Schultz off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Schultz made four appearances with the Diamondbacks this season, but spent most of the year at the Triple-A level, posting an ugly 6.18 ERA over 23 starts and five relief appearances. Assuming he sticks around with the Toronto, the 29-year-old right-hander will provide some depth as a long reliever and spot starter. Tue, Oct 7, 2014 03:55:00 PM

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Bo Schultz to Triple-A Reno.

Schultz allowed 13 hits and seven earned runs in eight innings (four appearances) during his nine-day stay with the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old right-hander has also struggled this season at the Triple-A level. Wed, Aug 6, 2014 04:55:00 PM

Maicer Izturis (groin) will be sidelined for at least 10 days and will miss the start of the season, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.

Izturis left Friday's game with a right groin strain. With Izturis sidelined, Devon Travis and Ryan Goins suddenly have a great opportunity to win the Opening Day second base gig. Travis, whom the Jays acquired from the Tigers for Anthony Gose this winter, is especially intriguing from a fantasy perspective.

Michael Saunders (knee) said he hopes to start light running exercises in the next few days.

Saunders has been hitting in minor league games in recent days, but he's yet to run the bases. The outfielder is recovering from February knee surgery and, while he won't be ready for the season, Saunders could return by mid-April if all goes well.

The procedure was performed by Dr. James Andrews. The Blue Jays haven't provided a specific timetable for Stroman, but he will miss the entire 2015 season. It's an unfortunate break for the Jays and the young right-hander.

Brett Cecil made his spring debut with a perfect inning Thursday against the Phillies.

Cecil was already named Toronto's closer despite missing all month with a sore shoulder. The Jays never seemed all that concerned about the shoulder, but it does make him an even riskier fantasy pick than he'd already be as an unestablished closer on a team that has always been quick to make changes.
